Hitch´s the Birds was based on a true event.
Follow Ups:
The BirdsThe idea for this famous story came to her [Daphne du Maurier] one day when she was walking across to Menabilly Barton farm from the house. She saw a farmer busily ploughing a field whilst above him the seagull s were diving and wheeling. She developed the idea about the birds becoming hostile and attacking him.
In her story, the birds become hostile after a harsh winter with little food, first the seagull s, then birds of prey and finally even small birds, all turn against mankind.
The nightmarish idea appealed to Hitchcock who turned it into the celebrated film. Daphne disliked the film and particularly disliked the translation of the setting from Cornwall, with its small fields and stone hedges, to small-town America.
You story is true so I think mine too. Remember clearly that Hitch had a piece of a newspaper in his hands with an incident relating an attack.
Now this film is a masterpiece of finest psychology.
As I wrote, I have known people who have been attacked by Birds because the Birds feared that their young were threatened. But birds that attack and kill, apparently for the same motivation that people attack and kill. I'd like to see that trial. But please educate me as to when and where this alleged series of bird attacks took place. I've done some research and cannot locate the event(s) which you write.
